Hints
 Some computers that already have Windows Media Player 10 installed may encounter
file limitations (AAC, video files, etc.) when transferring by drag-and-drop. If you install
Windows Media Player 11 (for details, see "Installing the Operation Guide and software"
of "Quick Start Guide") from the supplied CD-ROM, you can solve this problem, then
you can transfer by drag-and-drop again. Before installing Windows Media Player 11 on
your computer, make sure to check whether your software or service corresponds to
Windows Media Player 11.
 Data hierarchy may differ, depending on your computer environment.
 Some WMV files can be played back only by transferring using Windows Media Player
11.
